MasterTengu:

may be an early release for wiz buut, is this version based on a new enough Final Burn to have PGM game support?

jickthehick:

It's working quite well with my CPS1 roms, except I can't figure out how to assign keys in 4-6 button games. Is this even possible I wonder... ??

jickthehick:

Follow up comment: This is a great emulation software for both CPS-1 AND CPS-2 games. It's running all of those for me at FULL frame rates! The other CPS-2 Emu was experiencing very choppy performance with 1944, but this one plays it like a champ !!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CPS ROMS

Gab75:

An amazing arcade emulator... when the new version with the Sega System 16 support (Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Shinobi, ecc.)?

ashmadai:

What version of finalburnalpha .dat file would be needed to format the roms for this release?

clankfelix:

This plays Knights of the Round for CPS1 Tried on normal Capex for CPS2EMU and it didn't work. YAY

Seems to work fine for some games, but for others (example, Darkstalkers) all I get is a blank screen -- but I can still hear the audio. Any thoughts, am I perhaps doing something wrong?

andy838:

how the heck do you exit the emulator. I've tried all the button combos I can think of.

I would ask for help at the boards but it's not possible to create a new account there apparently, and i can't create a new thread in the "I need help" section so I have , no other choice aside from asking here directly in hope that someone sees it.
I can't launch any rom that has cache files for it sitting on the SD card (those flagged in blue). And for some games that seem to require them, even when launching a clone rom (flagged in green), the emulator seems to get stuck upon loading it (every time, it's on the files that end with 14m in the file name), such as Marvel vs Capcom, Marvel vs Street Fighter, or Street Fighter Alpha 3. Those are the larger roms so I guess the console gets stuck when the RAM is full from trying to load games too large to fit in the RAM, which in turn would suggest that the cache files, though detected for those games, since they're flagged in green, are not used at all.
I'm using the latest version of the emulator, running of a 16GB class 10 card. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance =).

OK so after a lot of search, and a even more trial and error, i finally found a solution.
I first found a cache pack on internet, containing lots of cache files with the file extension .cache (even for games that didn't require them) which were all supposed to be put in the cache folder (which you have to create yourself in the fba2x folder), which made the games to be flagged in blue in the list, but that didn't work.
Then I found another solution suggesting to download FBACache app for windows from this website and to create your own cache files with the file extension .fba for the games that didn't work without a cache file... and to put the .fba files in the roms folder (NOT cache), but that didn't work either.
At last I put both a .cache file in the cache subfolder of fba2X AND the .fba file generated by FBAcache in the roms folder and... it works ! actually the .cache files in the cache folder can be empty files (create an empty text file and rename it [romname].cache) and there you go. Seems weird to me, but at least that worked. Here are the games I tried which required the creation of .cache and .fba files : Cyberbots - fullmetal madness ; Mars Matrix ; Marvel Super Heroes ; Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter ; Marvel vs Capcom - Clash of Super heroes ; Night Warriors - Darkstalkers' Revenge ; Street Fighter Alpha 3 ; Vampire Hunter 2 - Darkstalkers' Revenge ; Vampire Savior ; Vampire Savior 2 ; X-Men - Children of the Atom ; X-Men vs Street Fighter

I cannot get Final Burn Alpha to work at all on my Wiz. Freezes at the menu, sometimes it doesn't even make it to that. I've tried everything. Anyone else having problems getting it to run?
